WindowsLive Contact List

Question

 

I am trying to get contact list for MSN messenger using the  WIndowsLive messenger Sample API

 

The sample email

[e-mail] and password works fine and i get the list.

 

But when i replace it with my UserID and Pwd, not able to get the list!!

 

 

public const string strSampleWLID = "[e-mail]"; //[e-mail]

public const string strSamplePUID = "1688852014266854";

public const string strSamplePassword = "password";

public const string strSampleHostName = "cumulus.services.live.com"; // Do i have to change this?

public const string strSampleAuthHeader = "Authorization";

public const string strSampleAuthHeaderToken = @"A:20070426T000650Z:really.randomthirdparty.com:AtQDV882yzjy1tl9D5SO1vGM4uxG0U6RAtGRyQiLSyHr0IqPRGXUPQsflp4t8zwKkPRE9lsuNNa7c1BbEn7xQCw9MAH5Ul5+8Y+/LsemCgzWLN9Z4f3E98fXHqw6THofMUgmKc2ob9dBEe0k+nEXwicexxTEnV8eOH+Idm6sE0py5x4lI41zGWGWGFkVz0v2i5HSK7DmRz3qG4LsJKshBsK5DUX/Hrt/G06Y1ublIb5EuYsRZS/vrh+gtGTHkpWTdd1vP3HCg+cJ/a2gCTHZ9EMGSGNBkLrQKURUEzQDVuNs6zK9+91/U6EFRAHdIZJpasNmfVgUnj9z9fYMFFnGWw==";

public const string strSampleAuthHeaderValue = "DomainAuthToken at=\"" + strSampleAuthHeaderToken + "\"";

 

public const int iSamplePort = 443; // Do i have to change this?

 

 

UriBuilder uriBuilder = new UriBuilder();

uriBuilder.Scheme = "HTTPS";

uriBuilder.Path = "/" + strSampleWLID + "/LiveContacts/Contacts";

uriBuilder.Host = strSampleHostName;

uriBuilder.Port = iSamplePort;

string uriPath = uriBuilder.Uri.AbsoluteUri;

 

 

Please suggest

Hello Vinay,

 

What error code are you getting?

if we know it, it will be very nice

VInay:

       I think your problem happens because you are using a domain authentication token that is specific for [e-mail] and so it is not valid for your other user. You should receive a 401 response meaning your credentials are not valid.To solve the problem, you need to get a valid token for the new user.

 

You do not need to use the PUID.

 

Let me know if this helps.

Hey Federico,

 

I have tried to implement the Contacts Reader API but it is not working.

I really appreciate if you can pass me some working sample code.

 

Thanks & Regards

Answer 4

Might be worth taking a look at the interactive SDK for Live Data (which includes the Contacts elements), which can be found at http://dev.live.com/livedata/sdk/ as that will have working code that you can look at and use.
